Look into my eyes!

Rocky and I participated in an eye study a few weeks ago. As a bonus we both got free eye exams. I really had no reason to have one, other than it was free. The doctor did my exam and then told me there was a little spot she wanted someone to look at, so I am thinking, OH BOY this can't be good. The second doctor checked things out and told me that I have a small tear in my retina! I am going to see a specialist tomorrow to determine what to do next. Sure glad I went in for the eye exam! Best case scinario is that it will heal on its own. If not I may have to have laser surgery to fix the problem. Maybe it is a mote or a beam that they can cast out!

I have told many of you about my favorite cookbook called Favorites. I just found out that there is a new one coming out AND you can order both of them right here!

So blessed to be a woman!

Can I just say how much I love my GAL PALS? I have so many great women in my life! I am so thankful for all the love and support I get from my friends (not just the ones pictured). It is crazy to think this whole MBA experience is winding down and we will be parting our separate ways. We have absolutely loved this place and all the great friends we have met. In case you were wondering, those are NOT rubber bands on Rocky's thighs!
I absolutely loved watching General Conference this weekend! I feel so blessed to be a mom and so honored that Heavenly Father trusts me with 3 of his children. I was amazed how many talks were about parenting and so grateful for the things I learned. It seems like most of the talks were specifically meant for me! The main thing I got out of this weekend is that Heavenly Father loves me and is very aware of my situation. I need to replace my fears with faith, do my best, and just keep on keeping on!

April Fools!!

Rocky just started solids. Please notice the peas on his foot and everywhere else. Ruby had a great time feeding him.

Man this time is FLYING by! This amazing little soul has been in my life 6 months. You just can't look at Rocky without smiling. Especially when he has "PEAD" his pants!

Rockerena (he is in cahoots with Coopertina). This was one of my very favorite dresses of Ruby's. I know Rocky is going to kill me when he sees this picture.
Santa mug, Thanksgiving plate, and 4th of July napkin = April FOOLS!!!!

Love them!!!

Rocky is 18lbs 8 oz!!! If you were concerned that Rocky was about to wither away...worry no more. The other day I was trying to figure out why I had blood blisters on my forearm when I realized that they were from carrying the BOULDER in his car seat! Oh I love him so!!! I could just kiss his face and thighs off!!!

After a great day at church, I sat down at the computer. Ruby came to see what I was doing and asked me if Facebook helped me think about Jesus. You know, the whole keep the Sabbath day holy thing. BUSTED!!! Love her!

Coop Dawg, I love you just because you are you!

Spring Break 2010

3 is definitely my favorite number!
Sham"ROCKY"!




Readathon!

A chocolate moosetache from one of our local favorites, Chocolate Moose.

We had a fun filled Spring Break. Matt had a class in Washington DC and the rest of us stayed in B-Town and enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather. We went on bike rides, walks, played at lots of parks, ate yummy picnics, ice cream, slept in, read, snuggled, crafts and lots of LEGOS! We had a great time.

It is great to have daddy back. He is starting the last 7 weeks of his final semester! This time is flying by. We are really going to miss this little place and all of our friends!

Meet Cooper inside and out.
Sure love this girl!
How do you really feel Rubes? I can't wait to put this picture in her wedding video ;)
Snuggle buddies. These 2 are absolutely in love with each other.
???? Just another wedding video shot.
Here is another one of my favorite girls, Sally. I adore her. We went to Yellowood State park with both or our crazy little families. We have met some of the greatest people here in Bloomington. I am really going to miss all my gal pals.

We had a great leaf fight at Yellowood. There is something very therapeutic about throwing and dodging leaves while screaming like a little girl. You don't even want to know where I found leaves when we got home!

The sun has been out all week in Bloomington. I forgot how much I loved it! We will be above freezing for the next ten days!!! Imagine that!


Rocky's feet are finally catching up with his cheeks!!!


Our friend told us that Rocky looks just like Sir Topham Hatt from Thomas the Tank Engine. Yea, I can see the resemblance. Now we just need to get him a top hat.


This picture can't tell you how I felt, but it is a memory of a very magical moment to me. I was reading to my kids as we were all snuggled up on each other. It hit me very hard, there was no other place in the world that I would rather be. I have the greatest job in the world. I am so blessed to be a mom, especially to these 3 amazing little souls. I love them dearly!
